Crodino
Crodino is a non-alcoholic bitter aperitif, produced since 1965.[1] Since 1995 it has been manufactured by Gruppo Campari.[2] It is an orange-coloured drink made from herbal extracts and sugar and sold in 10 centilitres (3.5 imp fl oz; 3.4 US fl oz) bottles. It is primarily consumed in Italy and other European countries.
It is closed with a crown cap.
Distribution started in the UK in 2021,[3] and in France in 2022.[4] The expansion to new markets was made possible thanks to the growing popularity of spritz worldwide and its bitter flavor.[5] In 2023, production was moved out of Crodo.[6]
Name
[edit]The name Crodino derives from a comune in the province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, Crodo, Italy, where the beverage was bottled from 1964 to 2023.
Cocktails
[edit]It is used to make Sixteen Rum, a cocktail of Piedmont, consisting of rum, vermouth (Martini rosso or other), Crodino, and lemon juice or a lemon slice.[7][8] Typical portions are about half a shot each of rum and vermouth (¾ oz or 25 ml), and a full bottle (100 ml) of Crodino.
